Clark talks a lot about how to save money on energy in your home. One way to do this is to change how you light your home. What about cooling and heating your home? The Feds recently conducted an experiment in New York, Georgia and Florida that involved using energy at different times of the day. The three times were peak, shoulder and off-peak, and the cost of using energy is less at off-peak and shoulder times. The experiment showed that people changed when they used energy, depending on how much it cost. It’s called “real-time pricing,” and it would save customers tons if they had the choice to use it. Clark participates in a program that allows the power company to shut down his air conditioning when the company is running low on clean-burning fuel. The company pays him every month to do this and he loves getting that return. He thinks we should do that with other areas of the home. There is no question that people will respond positively when energy costs less. It’s time to take this from an experiment to real life.
